UMUR
"Zochrot" is a a one-track single release by UK death metal act Carcass. It´s a flexi disc single which was given away free with the October 2013 issue of Decibel Magazine. "Zochrot" was upon release an exclusive track, but it was reissued as one of the tracks on the November 2014 "Surgical Remission / Surplus Steel" EP, which features leftover material from the "Surgical Steel" (2013) sessions. So "Zochrot" is one of the tracks which didn´t make it unto Carcass comeback album.
Stylistically it´s a mid-paced heavy death metal track, featuring death/thrashy riffs, heavy beats, nice melodic leads and harmonies, and Jeff Walker´s signature snarling vocals on top. Quality wise it could just as easialy have made the cut as any other track which did make the cut to be included on "Surgical Steel". It´s packed in the same powerful, detailed, but also slightly sterile sounding production as the other material recorded during the same sessions. Upon conclusion "Zochrot" is a great but maybe not spectacular Carcass track. Still a 3.5 - 4 star (75%) rating is deserved.
